"Away from the glitzy skyscrapers of New York City, the enduring serenity of Long Island often tempts locals and visitors alike to go for an adventure through its peaceful coastal towns. You might plan a day trip to Lake Ronkonkoma, Long Island's largest lake with a beach park, or uncover the waterfront treasure of Port Jefferson, just 60 miles east of Manhattan, where past and present converge along the shore."
"Bellmore's downtown corridor along Merrick Road and Bedford Avenue has a pulsing energy that invites you to get out of your vehicle and explore the area on foot. You'll find tons of independent boutiques sitting beside decades-old family restaurants and tree-lined streets, which might seem worlds away from the strip-mall sprawl found elsewhere on Long Island. Getting to Bellmore is also refreshingly straightforward for both city dwellers and out-of-state visitors."
Bellmore is a tight-knit South Shore community of roughly 16,000 residents offering a genuine small-town feel with waterside recreation and canal-side living. The downtown along Merrick Road and Bedford Avenue features independent boutiques, decades-old family restaurants, and tree-lined streets that contrast with typical strip-mall sprawl. Visitors can reach Bellmore via the Long Island Rail Road Babylon Branch from Penn Station in about 45 to 50 minutes, with hourly service. The closest major airport is John F. Kennedy International Airport, located less than 20 miles away, and nearby attractions include Lake Ronkonkoma and Port Jefferson.
